Happy Never After Fairytale

When You look my way,
And I start to look down.
I see the rocks that shine so bright,
over the sad empty town.
When we see the carnival,
and the lights turn down.
I remember it started,
with a whisper so loud.

Ooh..
Do you remember when we watched the stars?
On the blanket with the music on.

The roses you gave me in the fall
Never died until you were gone.
When you held me closer and wouldn't let go
I woke up from that dream and never returned.
Ooh..
Is this the Happy Never after fairytale?
Is this the Happy Never after fairytale?

We ride the rides,
turned around our time
Then We get ice cream,
and walk by the beach.
You talk about you,
and how your so cool.
We feel the ocean breeze,
and you leave me, please.

Ooh..
Do you remember when we watched the stars?
On the blanket with the music on.

The roses you gave me in the fall
Never died until you were gone.
When you held me closer and wouldn't let go
I woke up from that dream and never returned.
Ooh..
Is this the Happy Never After fairytale?
Is this the Happy Never after fairytale?

Baby you could be sweet,
and the one you want to hug.
When you had a rough day
Coming home from work.
Ooh.
And we could be happy
and we could be strong.
But you threw it all away,
for me, please.

Do you remember when we watched the stars?
On the blanket with the music on.
(x2)
The roses you gave me in the fall
Never died until you were gone.
When you held me closer and wouldn't let go
I woke up from that dream and never returned.
Ooh..
Is this the Happy Never after fairytale?
Is this the Happy Never after fairytale?

Here's my entry!

I wrote this song is about a guy that I'd had feelings for but hadn't seen in a while. This song is all about how I felt talking to him for the first time after not seeing him for two years. He has the most beautiful green eyes.

So, I hope you enjoy!

Your Eyes

verse:
it feels like just days
since i last saw your face
since you grabbed my hand
and said it would be ok
and now here we are
like nothing’s changed
i’m wondering if you still remember
what happened that day

pre-chorus:
how i looked into your eyes
and saw myself in you
and how i struggled to tell you why
but it couldnt break through

chorus:
your eyes
were the reason that i woke up
and your, your smile
made me feel as though i couldnt speak and
the way you looked at me
made me feel like maybe everything could change
did you ever feel that way?

verse:
i love the way you think
how i never know what you’ll say next
how you keep me on the brink
always putting me to the test and
i forgot how it feels
to smile at one of your silly jokes
to want to grab your hand
and just...go

pre-chorus:
and i still remember
the last time we talked
and now here we are again
you’ve made my life stop
‘cause

chorus:
your eyes
were the reason that i woke up
and your, your smile
made me feel as though i couldnt speak and
the way you looked at me
made me think that everything could change
i wonder did you ever feel that way

bridge:
and i can’t help thinking back
at everything we shared
the memories fly through my head
nothing spared
and as i sit here
i realize

chorus:
your eyes
are the reason that i wake up
and your, your smile
makes me feel as though i’ll never speak and
when you look at me
i think that baby we could change

your eyes
were the reason that i woke up
and your, your smile
made me feel as though i couldnt speak and
the way you looked at me
made me think that everything could change
i wonder did you ever feel that way

~ my entry. I guess the best way to explain it is you've felt like you've lost your imagination and you're kinda depressed and your guy is trying to get you back, and you're remembering how it was. And he keeps trying and he pulls you out of it. =) Anymore

I try to close my tired eyes
But you want me to see your fireflies
Those lights have long left my sight
I’m sorry
Where’d you go, you ask me
Where’s your heart at, you ask
I’m with you, don’t you see
I’m with you,
Though I’m trapped somewhere down inside me

Your voice echoes off these prison walls
I’m a ghost, trapped behind jail bars
You speak to me,
Your words, so beautiful
You make me a flower
I start to unravel
Your words, so beautiful
Give me a glimpse of a world
I never let myself go
Anymore

I’ve been to the world of dreamers
Castles and cobbled roads
Where faeries and magical things roam
You’re always standing beside me
But now I’m in a slumber
And I can’t find my way back home

Your voice echoes down these empty dirt roads
I’m a traveler, lost between worlds
You speak to me,
Your words, so beautiful
You make me a flower
I start to unravel
Your words, so beautiful
Give me a glimpse of a world
I never let myself go
Anymore

You can tell me anything, you whisper to me
You always have me, you whisper
I’m still a scared little girl
Even though I’m a year into being an adult
Scared of the future, scared of what it holds
Scared of growing old

Your voice pulls me out of my prison
I’m free, not alone
You speak to me,
Your words, so beautiful
You make me a flower
I’m unraveling
Your words, so beautiful
Give me a glimpse of a world
I never let myself go
Anymore

I'll Be Love

Verse:
You could see me standing in the rain
Throwing pebbles at your window pane
Wishing I had your last name
Cuz you're the only thing that keep me sane

If you'd just open the window, I'd climb the trees
Hold you tight and set your free
From the burdens that keep you from walking the streets
Both our lives would be complete

Pre-Chorus:
This is me standing in front of you
Saying "I do"

Chorus:
When you're standing in the cold, twenty feet of snow
I'll be there to give you a coat
When you're dazed and confused, nothing left to lose
I'll trek through the twisted maze to find you
The light in you ain't always shining through
But your embrace is enough
To make me want you through and through
And if you're waiting for love, baby, I'll be love

Verse:
For you I'd stay up until the morning light
To help you recover from the most recent fight
I'd walk through a dark forest at midnight
To take their matches and make them disappear from your sight

Pre-Chorus:
I wish I'd be standing in front of you
Saying "I do"

Chorus:
When you're standing in the cold, twenty feet of snow
I'll be there to give you a coat
When you're dazed and confused, nothing left to lose
I'll trek through the twisted maze to find you
The light in you ain't always shining through
But your embrace is enough
To make me want you through and through
And if you're waiting for love, baby, I'll be love

Bridge:
Oh baby I know every joke that can make you laugh
As far as I'm concerned, I'm your other half
Sitting next to you, I can heal your pain
And I can hear your cries from miles away
Oh I'd run to you
Oh I'd run to you
Oh I'd run to you, yeah

Chorus:
When you're standing in the cold, twenty feet of snow
I'll be there to give you a coat
When you're dazed and confused, nothing left to lose
I'll trek through the twisted maze to find you
The light in you ain't always shining through
But your embrace is enough
To make me want you through and through
And if you're waiting for love, baby, I'll be loveI say NO to bullying. I am FEARLESS. I wish to Speak Now

Here's mine!:)

im too lazy to write an explanation:) so here! Enjoy!:)

FALLING FOR YOU
Why is it so hard for you to see
What you're doing to me
Why is it so difficult to believe
That we could be a beautiful, magical, thing...

CHORUS
Don't you know..
You're killing me with your smile
You electrify me with words,
You make me wanna dance when I see
Your beautiful eyes light up the world!
It's like you're in behind a wall,
And I'm on the outside,
Trying to stop my fall,
It's no use, everyday,
Every single word you say,
Everything you do,
Ooo and Everyday I fall for you

I can't understand,
I die just thinking of holding your hand,
Every day I hope to hear,
A sweet hello whispered in my war

But no matter how much I wish,
You're always so obliviouS
You walk on by,
Never seeing me, never suspecting,
But baby, im Wishing you were mine

Every day when I wake up,
Putting on my makeup,
I see myself in parts of you
I only hope that you would too

And as I look into the mirror,
I realize you're not getting nearer
And I hope that someday
I will be able to stand up and say...

CHORUS

oooo darling can't you see,
I'm falling so fast,
Dreaming, believing,
Advancing, retreating,
Trying to just make you see
Just how much you mean to me

(how much)
Can't you see
(I'm falling)
You're killing me
(falling fast)
I can't go back
(Ooo baby)
But how can I make you see,
When I'm falling to fast
To even recognize me?

Wishin' You Were Mine

(Verse 1)
If I gave you my heart wrapped in a song,
would you keep it close to you? Listen to it when you're alone?
Could you hear my heart break? Thinkin' I'll be strong,
or would'ja call me, text me, write me? In my dreams you're waiting at home.

You wait for me, 'cause I'm all you need,
but I really know that it'll never be.

(Chorus)
Call me crazy, I can't give up.
One look, I'm hooked; you got me, good. I'm stuck.
I can't tell you how much time has flown by
where I've been sittin' in my room, wishin' you were mine.

(Verse 2)
How can other girls look into your eyes
and keep smiles away? They need to teach me somethin'.
I need a boy like you, someone where secrets can hide.
Someone where trust and love lies, and stories never end.

We'd talk for hours 'cause we're so close.
But right now I'm a mouse, 'cause no one knows!

(Chorus)
Call me crazy, I can't give up.
One look, I'm hooked; you got me, good. I'm stuck.
I can't tell you how much time has flown by
where I've been sittin' in my room, wishin' you were mine.

(Bridge)
I've been waiting for years for someone like you,
never wanted to try this hard, I won't let you go.
Keep me company, hold me like a balloon.
Keep me grounded, I'm flying, and you gotta know!

(Chorus)
Call me crazy, I can't give up.
One look, I'm hooked; you got me, good. I'm stuck.
I can't tell you how much time has flown by
where I've been sittin' in my room, wishin' you were mine.

(Outro)
Oh, I don't know how to pass time...
So I'm just wishin' you were mine.
